Using location tracking for mobile

Use location tracking so that you can keep a record of your location, either for a defined period of time or while you perform tasks .

There are two location tracking options available, action-based and manual.

• Action-based tracking - Starts and stops location tracking based on actions you perform.
• Manual tracking - Starts location tracking for a defined period of time or tracks your location all the time.

Your administrator selects which tracking options are available to you. Either action-based, manual, or both. If both options are made available to you, you can select which tracking option you want to work with.

To monitor your activity, turn on location tracking from your mobile device. Location tracking continues even when there's no internet connection.

注:

The location setting on your mobile device takes precedence over the location setting in the mobile app. Grant permission on your mobile device to enable the app to track your location.

Enable location tracking Access Location tracking by tapping the  Settings  tab in the navigation bar, and selecting  Location Tracking. On the next screen, enable the Location tracking option. 注: You may see a prompt from your mobile device to grant location tracking permission to the mobile app. Select  OK  to enable geolocation tracking.

Location tracking behavior in defined situations

Location tracking behavior when logging out and in

When you initiate location tracking, the app saves the tracking start and end time. When the end time passes, the tracking session expires, and location tracking is turned off.

By default, if you log out during an active location tracking session, when you log back into the same instance, the app checks if the location tracking session has expired. If the session has not expired, the location tracking session automatically resumes, until the defined end time.

Location tracking behavior when overriding an active tracking session

If during an active location tracking session you tap another action that starts location tracking, the last tapped action overrides the existing tracking session.
